The Pastoral Clinic by Angela Garcia
Takes us on a journey into an iconic Western landscape - northern New Mexico's Espanola Valley, home to the highest rate of heroin addiction and fatal overdoses in the United States. This title chronicles the lives of several Hispano addicts, introducing us to the intimate, physical, and institutional dependencies in which they are entangled.
"A new and refreshing study.. This is a powerful testament, and Garcia presents a vision of where we need to go when it comes to preventing the slow suicide of addictions." The Progressive "Stunningly written and deeply intelligent. This is anthropology at its best." American Anthropologist
